There will be a rapture, a tribulation, a millennial reign and a finality to this earth.

Theologians have battled for centuries about HOW this will happen and WHEN this reality will occur

But NONE doubt or argue that it WILL HAPPEN

I can tell you today EXACTLY how the “END TIMES” will play out in our reality

Exactly

Even with a timetable….

Ready?….

The Kingdom of God will come for you and me and for all creation….

Exactly WHEN, WHERE and HOW God says it will! Not sooner or later

The WORLD wants to get so concerned about the timing of armegeddon, the rapture, and more

Look here…Look there…

Post a billboard

Set a date

DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THEM

They have been proven WRONG each and every time!

Movies, books, cults, even religions and churches can make the timing of Christ’s return their major focus….and fundraiser

Don’t be consumed by this question

It will play out God’s way

Pre-trib, mid – trib, post -trib or amillennial

We argue, debate and fuss about something we DO NOT KNOW

Trust GOD with that time

Your time may come WAY BEFORE this event anyway

The TIMING is not for us to know right now

The CLOCK and CALENDAR DO NOT MATTER!

Maybe soon for some and longer for others

Maybe those of us gathered here will survive until the rapture of the church…

Maybe not..

Not YOUR business

Above your pay grade so to speak

The REALITY of the return of Jesus Christ is VERY MUCH our business!

Reguardless of God’s TIMING

We are called to BE READY!

Be SAVED

Be SERVING

You may be called to martyrdom

He who loses his life will keep it

Give Your life to God

It is His anyway

He gave it to you

But a fearful and weak faithed people want a sign

We have no need to fear

The examples in our text prove that God will protect His people

Noah and family safe on the Ark

Lot and MOST of his family safely removed from destruction

People of Israel’s Children saved by the Blood back at the very first Passover.

We do not need a SIGN!

Here’s Your Sign

Your daily life

Nothing else needs to happen prophetically for Christ to Return

No prophecy remains unfilled before the rapture occurs

The Kingdom of God could return for you…for us

Today!

NOW!

Or in 100 years or more

BE ready

We DO NOT need a sign…WE NEED JESUS!

John 3:16

John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” ESV

This scripture tells us it will be like in the days of Noah before the flood and the days of Lot before the fire and brimstone

Normal days

Eating, drinking, sleeping

Working and playing

Building families and communities

A day just like every other day

UNTIL something UNUSUAL happens and changes everything.

Suddenly, quicker than the Flash or Superman

BOOM

People will be at home and BOOM some are gone and some are left

People will be working and BOOM some are gone and some are left

People will be doing what they do every day, living in their self imposed rut and routine and BOOM some will be gone and some will be left

When The Clock and the Calendar Don’t Matter

What DOES MATTER is a relationship

YOUR relationship with God through Jesus Christ

God is more important than time

DO NOT be left behind

Death is left behind everywhere

Choose life!

Be ready!

Ephesians 2:4-10 “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” ESV
